The Song Remains the Same: (George Weasley)

Fred Weasley

I woke up to George shaking me violently. The sight of him made my eyes water.

"Gianna. It's Harry." He said. I quickly stood up, George grabbed my hand and I followed him. We went outside of the castle.

"Harry Potter is dead.." Voldemort said. Those were the only words I heard. Hagrid was crying. I did as well. George squeezed my hand. "No!" Was the only word coming from everyone. Harry wasn't dead. It was every man for themselves now.

"Take care, please, be careful." George said before leaving with Lee Jordan to beat Yalexy. I found myself in front of Death Eaters, duelling with them. At last, Voldemort was dead. Relief came upon my body but was soon replaced with the horrible feeling of loss. My family. I turned into a Phoenix and looked all over for George, the rest of the Weasleys, John. They were all together.

"Where's Gianna?" George's asked frustrated, he had his back to me. "I can't lose her! She's all I've got, you know, aside from you guys." As Mrs. Weasley shot him a glare. I chuckled.

"You can't get rid of me so easily." I said. He turned around and hugged me very tightly.

"We're okay." I said, his grip tightened. I hugged all of the Weasleys and John and Harry and Hermione. We had all lost a great deal of loved ones today.

It was Fred's funeral today. None of us wanted this day to come, especially George. He had been crying ever since, I don't blame him. He lost such a big part of himself and it really hurt that I couldn't do anything about it. Tonks and Uncle Remus had had their proper burial already, Andromeda was devastated and in no condition to take care of Teddy for now. Narcissa came to her rescue after she learned that Tonks passed away, rekindling their relationship. Teddy was in our custody. George was reluctant to everyone but somehow he seemed to be calmer around Teddy, not as sad. I had spoken in both funerals and Mr. Weasley really wanted me to speak in this one too. I didn't want to, my speeches weren't the best, I loved to do them but they were all over the place because I didn't really plan them out but I was dreading this one. Fred Weasley was one of the most important people in my life, yet I had loss of words. Natalie was crying on Oliver Wood's shoulder, George had Teddy in his arms and tried not to look at me.

"Gianna?" Mr. Weasley said with teary eyes. "A few words from my lovely daughter-in-law, one of Fred's closest friends." I stood up and looked at the crowd of people, most of them crying, I saw my family, both of my families in agony. A cloaked person stood on a far corner. I had no idea who this was.

"Fred Weasley." I started. The thought of him made my eyes water. "Fred Weasley was an amazing person, that's a start. He was the first ever Weasley to speak to me when we met, the first one to take me when I got sorted into Gryffindor and above all he was the one who insisted I lived with them when I left Hogwarts and was having family problems. Why do I say this? Because that's the type of person he was. He was always there when we needed him. He took me in when I wasn't even his girlfriend and treated me like family. We did have some bad moments when George and I started dating but we overcame that because he was also forgiving. Most importantly, Fred Weasley had a sense of humour like no other. I know that he's here with us and I know that he wouldn't want to see you guys crying for him, instead he would've wanted you to laugh, because that's just who he was. He always had a smile on his face to his last moments on this Earth and I'd hate to think of him and shed tears because that's not what he would've wanted. In moments of darkness he was always smiling, instead of remembering him sulkingly I would like to make his memory live on happily as he would've wanted to. Fred Weasley did not die in vain, he-" I stammered and let out a few tears with my voice breaking, "he gave his life and fought for us to have a better life like everyone on the Battle of Hogwarts. Fred Weasley was the bravest man I ever knew, my brother, my  best friend. Instead of sulking for him, make stories of him and most importantly never stop loving him." I was full-on sobbing by then, I had to end it. "Thanks." They lowered his body. Everyone was crying hard. One by one everyone kept leaving until it was just me and George. Harry had taken Teddy.

"We should go." George managed to say. I nodded. He apparated out but I returned to his grave. I saw the cloaked person at his grave, seemed as if they were crying. The person removed its cloak to reveal no other than:

Draco Lucius Malfoy.
